If anything changes in the way we purchase and play games, it will not be a MS only thing...everyone wants the used game market to get killed. Gaming is going to change, period, we just dont know how yet. I see something happening like Games will have a product key, like most computer software, and it has to ge activated, similar to most MS software now. You log into your profile on XBOX Live, activate your game, then the game will only work if that profile is signed in on whatever console. Like it will tie the game to YOU. Most Downloaded games work this way now. When I purchased Minecraft for xbox, I downlaoded it on all my consoles, the game works for every profile on the xbox it was purchased from no matter what, but the other consoles, my profile has to be signed in before the game will start, then I can sign out and let the kids sign in to play. This is the direction I see every console going in the future. Personally, I dont see the big game makers deal with the used game market, I mean if they want to make it illegal (and they do) to sell used games....then only to be fare, we should not be able to buy used cars, used furniture, used clothing, used records, or used ANYTHING. Cause GM didnt make a DIME when I purchesed my wifes 1995 Z28, and I guess thats just not fare. I think me, you and anyone else should be free to do whatever the hell we want with what we purchase after we pay our hard earned money for it, PERIOD.

Thanks for including the Doc on this one...

There was a female Spartan in H4....and there have been Female Spartans in the last few game's MP....just sayin.

The simple facts are... We had an assault weapons ban, it expired. During that time gun violence went UP. Its also very, very rare that a firearm is acuired legally when used in a crime. So, gun control laws are a waist of time and money. Not to mention the REAL numbers when it comes to assualt and murder. The number one thing used to kill in the US is a baseball bat, dont see anyone needing back ground checks to buy those. Why are they still legal if we use them the most to kill people. Sure, we can make it illegal for law abiding people to own firearms, but guess what, the criminals in this country will still have them, period. And if you think somehow we can pass a law and all guns will be gone tomorrow, guess what, these crazy idiots will find a different method to kill people. The blame lies with the people, not the guns, period. Also, every one of these mass shootings has occured at a so called GUN FREE ZONE. And you guys realise they are trying to ban Assualt rifles...based on the shock from the CT shooting....Hand guns were used for that one. This is all an excuse by the gov to put people in a place that they cannot defend themselves from a tyrantic goverment.

Hey guys, Myself and a few members were thinking of putting on a HW playdate or Tourament. I think it could be a lot of fun and something a little different for the members. I wanted to post this up as a way to see if there is enough interest to get something going. If enough people want this to happen, Myself and RealTalk will work on the specific details and then pass it up to AD for approval. If this is something some of you would want to do, let us know. I would love to put it on and participate. Thanks Everyone, Doc

I am truly Honored. I will do my best to keep things fun and running smoothly. This means a lot to me, guys. I wont let you down

Congrats...

Naw....Maybe that Frog guy....

Because the Universe isnt going to save itself....

You really should calm down and stop with the foul language. Sorry you are having issues, but in reality, you have a 20gb xbox, plenty big for Halo 4. I doubt EVERYTHING in that 20gbs is stuff you cant live without...if it is, you out grew your HD, get a bigger one. Its not 343i's fault you our grew it.

A ranked playlist is all I really see missing from this game...I played ranked on H3...and it made me a better player, becasue the better I got, the better I had to play...like training with out realizing it... I feel you on this one, but dont just throw it away this quick...

Mine is "O07" it came up at random the first time I turned on Halo 3, and I been using it ever since...thats why its in my GT and Username...

Me before the Army... Me now (and the Wife)...

Skype is already replacing the old msn/MS/live messenger service, got an email about it from MS a few days ago. I find this article to be vague at best. Skype is hiring people for a project concerning Xbox, big deal, for all we know its for a new app on the Xbox, or Skype will be integrated more like the WP 8 platform. I don't think we'll be using Skype for in game commo tho. I think this will be for living room skyping, most TV's do it already, so why not let the kinnect do it on any TV?

Welcome to the Community!

Ok, that makes sense then. I really had no idea. I lurked for a few months before finally getting an account.... I have been around longer than I thought!!! Thanks for giving us this amazing forum. This place helped me in ways you guys couldnt imagine...

I joined 09 May 2011....

How much money they rake in with advertising money wont have any effect on the price of the next console, they will still charge what they think people are willing to pay... Now, if they start making tons of money from advertising, they should charge us less or nothing for Gold accounts...I feel like I shouldnt have to be bombarded by adds for something I pay so much money for...

You have been here since November....This is a great community, but like all things that are great, you have to look past the garbage to see it. This is coming from a guy thats been around here for a while...None of this stuff around here is new...it comes when a new game is released then it fades away. Think about it, all the people that love the game are busy PLAYING it...
